When you throw yourself out into the world it can feel like you're throwing yourself to the sharks, but there comes a point when you get past the fear and a thrilling sense of freedom takes over. Filling you through to your very soul.

Many lessons learnt on a magical trip wandering foreign hills in Norway. Returning to "reality" has proven to be an up hill battle, making it is easy to forget the sense of freedom I felt just over a week ago. Here in Copenhagen, I am learning something new everyday, and being thrown into challenges faced in the place that I thought was the easy one.

I threw away security and took chances, hitch hiking from Oslo to Tromsø. A similar distance of Melbourne to Brisbane. May I add, hitch hiking during a time of limited daylight and extreme minus temperatures, making myself even my dependent on those kind enough to pick me up. For the risks I took, the rewards were even bigger.

Rather than running for safety of the buses and train stations I passed along the way, I found myself in incredible situations that I would never else have come across. As though soaring over this landscape, I am standing at the top of a mountain with the sharp wind picking at my uncovered skin on my cheeks and hands. Pain shooting through my muslces as I struggled to capture what I was seeing on camera, but knowing I would never quite be able to capture quite how free I was feeling in that moment.

This photo is taken in the area of Korgen, Norway. Somewhere up the E6 motorway.

Away from anything comfortable and safe, I felt a child like, naive excitement start the butterflies tickling in my stomach. Happy to be me, happy to know that following my heart could lead to good things. Happy to know that I can put my heart and soul into my passions, and just let life happen. Believe. Believe in myself.

Just, treat people how you want to be treated in return, and similarly, put into life the passion and effort that match what you want in return.

Life's alright. The world is an incredible place. That I know for sure.
